Detailed provisions concerning the different types of prisons; their administration; prison records; functions and duties of prison directors and officers (which include "supervision of work in the prison, ensuring it is carried out in an orderly fashion and preventing any violation of laws and regulations"); admission of detainees; separation of detainees into categories according to age, criminal record and length of sentence; rights of detainees; etc. The work of detainees is regulated by sections 22-25. Those in pretrial detention on non-political charges and persons not sentenced to hard labour or death (cat.A) are not required to work, except to clean their cells, unless their skills are needed in connection with work in the prison in which case their consent and "appropriate" remuneration will be paid to them. If they wish to practice their occupations, however, the prison administration must provide them with the means of doing so. Detainees sentenced to hard labour (cat.B) are paid for their work and can send part of their pay to their family (at least half of it being withheld and saved up for payment upon release from prison). Hours of work must not exceed 8 hours per day, and official holidays and Fridays are observed as days of rest (non-Muslims are not required to work on their religious holidays). The types of work to be assigned to detainees will be specified in the regulations.

Al-Jarida Al-Rasmiya, 1992-08-20, Vol. 32, No. 15, pp. 22-25
Only duly licensed agents are now permitted to bring foreign workers into Qatar. However, subject to special permission from the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Housing, an employer can import migrant labour himself strictly to meet his own needs. People who want to bring over domestic servants for their own household are exempt from this formality. The Act prescribes the conditions that labour-importing agents must meet to qualify for a license (minimum age of 21, bank guaranty, etc) and provides for inspection of their books and premises. Such agents are strictly forbidden to charge migrant job-seekers a fee for their placement. Travel costs and the agency commission must be paid by the employer on whose behalf the agency imports foreign labour. All existing labour-importing agencies must comply with the provisions of the Act by 19 March 1993.

Al-Jarida Al-Rasmiya, 1992-08-20, Vol. 32, No. 15, pp. 22-25
Only duly licensed agents are now permitted to bring foreign workers into Qatar. However, subject to special permission from the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Housing, an employer can import migrant labour himself strictly to meet his own needs. People who want to bring over domestic servants for their own household are exempt from this formality. The Act prescribes the conditions that labour-importing agents must meet to qualify for a license (minimum age of 21, bank guaranty, etc) and provides for inspection of their books and premises. Such agents are strictly forbidden to charge migrant job-seekers a fee for their placement. Travel costs and the agency commission must be paid by the employer on whose behalf the agency imports foreign labour. All existing labour-importing agencies must comply with the provisions of the Act by 19 March 1993.
